Imagine your dad restores old home, and the one that he is currently working on is haunted. Would you live there? Jules and her parents move into an old, abandoned house while her dad and his crew are renovating it. Jules can see the third floor from the new extension that was build for them to live in. When she sees the pale face of a girl looking out the window on the third floor, she can't believe her eyes. Fear turns to fascination as she begins to learn more and more about the family that lived there over a century ago. When Jules meets a new friend at the library, they both become determined to help this girl and her family that died so long ago. Can Jules and Maisie devise a plan to change to outcome of the devastating events that destroyed this family? Can Jules unlock the third story room and free Lily, a girl that has been trapped in this room for so many years? Read this fantastically scary book to find out (and I would suggest reading with the lights on).
